Planning a wedding can be as overwhelming as it is exciting. From organizing guest lists to deciding on seating arrangements, the details can quickly add up. At The Old Barns at Dry Run Farms, we understand that not every couple has the budget—or the desire—to hire a wedding planner. That’s why we’ve have an Online Wedding Planner designed to make the planning process as smooth, organized, and stress-free as possible. This tool helps our couples achieve their dream weddings without needing professional planning assistance, saving them time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Let’s explore how this innovative tool can help you plan every detail of your wedding with ease. Designed specifically for our venue, this planner walks you through every detail of the wedding, ensuring nothing is forgotten. Couples who’ve used this planner have been able to manage every aspect of their big day—often without needing additional help—while still achieving a beautifully orchestrated celebration.
1. The Starting Point: Required Information
The first step in your wedding planning journey is filling out the Required Info sheet. This section is where you’ll input all the essential details about your wedding, from the date and time to your estimated guest count. Having this information centralized ensures everyone, including your vendors and our team, is on the same page.
What is included:
Wedding timings
List of vendors and their contact information
Lots of general wedding planning questions
At The Old Barns at Dry Run Farms, we encourage couples to bring their favorite licensed vendors. Our online planner makes collaboration simple by consolidating all your wedding details in one accessible location. Share your timeline, layout, and other key information with your vendors to ensure seamless communication and execution.
2. Customizing Your Day with the Venue Layout
One of the most popular features of our online planner is the Venue Layout sheet. This editable layout allows you to visualize and arrange the space to suit your specific needs. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a large celebration, you can tailor the setup to your vision.
How it works:
Experiment with table placements for optimal flow.
Plan seating arrangements for the ceremony, dinner, and reception.
Visualize where key décor elements, like centerpieces or gift tables, will be placed.
Couples love this feature because it gives them complete control over the layout, making it easy to create a space that feels both functional and personalized.
3. Creating a Personalized Blog Feature
Every couple has a unique love story, and we love sharing yours. Our planner includes an optional Blog Feature Information sheet, where you can submit details about your relationship, proposal, and wedding plans. This optional section results in a beautifully crafted blog post that celebrates your journey. Once the blog post is created, we will make sure to let you know so that you can relive shared memories of your day.
What to include in your blog feature:
How you met and fell in love
Details about the proposal
Your wedding theme, style, and what excites you most about the big day
4. Mapping Out the Day: The Wedding Schedule
A clear and detailed timeline is essential for ensuring your wedding day runs smoothly. The Wedding Day Schedule sheet guides you through creating a timeline that incorporates standard wedding practices while allowing room for your unique touches.
What the schedule includes:
Preparation times for the bride, groom, and wedding party
Ceremony start time and order of events
Reception highlights, such as speeches, dinner, and dancing
This tool eliminates the guesswork, helping you and your vendors stay on track so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
5. Staying on Top of Details with Packing and To-Do Lists
Even the most organized couples can forget small yet important details. That’s where the Packing List and To-Do List sheets come in. These lists ensure nothing gets overlooked as you prepare for your big day.
Packing List highlights:
Wedding attire for the couple and wedding party
Décor items, such as candles, signage, and centerpieces
Emergency kits with essentials like safety pins, sewing supplies, and pain relievers
To-Do List highlights:
Booking and confirming vendors
Finalizing table arrangements and guest RSVPs
Completing DIY projects or favors
These tools provide peace of mind, helping you feel confident and prepared as the wedding day approaches.

Guest List features:
Tracks RSVPs, dietary preferences, and contact information.
Provides a clear overview of who will be attending.

I'm a sucker for a barn wedding, and your wedding venue is dreamy. The Old Barns At Dry Run Farms would be top of my list if I were getting married in Williamsport, OH. We do outdoor hill country weddings at Talula Mesa Glamping in Austin, TX. It's not quite the same, but beautiful in its own way.
Do you find that couples are amenable to getting insurance? Do most of them understand the value in it?
